Check Out These Line Moves and Free Picks for Ground Hogs Day

Punxsutawney Phil “predicted” six more weeks of winter after seeing his shadow. For line moves, we found two NBA totals that really have moved and a pair of West Coast college basketball favorites that are now underdogs. Take a minute to review all the betting trends and our free picks, to see what we are thinking. See you back here tomorrow.

With your typical Houston game total score already at 222 points, some of those betting basketball are counting on an even higher score as the Rockets host Atlanta and moved the total to 225.5. What those making NBA picks are counting on is the Hawks continued lack of defense, which has them giving up 119.2 PPG in their past five outings. For my money, the wild card is the Atlanta offense, which has been held to under 94 points twice in their last three contests. Certainly do not expect Houston to play that kind of defense, nevertheless, the Hawks are 18-5 UNDER after playing a road game this season.

In the second tilt on TNT, this Pacific Division contest also has a rising total, up three points to 228. No question the Clippers matador defense has been on full display in their past five outings in permitting a sickly 121.4 PPG, which includes 144 at Golden State last Saturday. However, NBA players don’t like to be embarrassed and with L.A. back home after five-game road trip, I surmise they will have something to prove defensively. Besides, Golden State is 18-6 UNDER on the road this season and 15-2 UNDER away after scoring 100 points or more in five straight games.

In West Coast Conference play, Loyola-Marymount has been flipped from +1 to a -1.5 point road favorite at San Diego. Both clubs are at or just below .500 and definitely below break even in conference play. Without knowledge of any injury for the Toreros, the only rationale I can come up with for this line move is the Lions are more stable offensively at 45.5 percent shooting. San Diego is more up and down than a teeter-totter, as in their past eight outings, five times they have connected on 48% or more of shot attempts and in the other three encounters, 32% or less. I’m calling for a good shooting night from the Toreros, who are 16-4 ATS playing against a team with a losing record.

UC-Davis is back in first place under coach Jim Les in the Big West Conference and they opened as two-point road faves at Cal-Poly, before those betting basketball shifted them to +1.5. The Aggies only beat the Mustangs 68-64 as seven-point home favorites last month and Cal-Poly is respectable 4-3 SU at home despite 6-15 season record. I’m going against the line movement, thinking UC-Davis knows how to win compared to their rivals and backed with the knowledge the Mustangs are 1-10 ATS revenging a road loss.

I am a recent sign up after I had watched several weeks of your impressive videos on SBR. That Detroit pick today was beautiful….I was all over Philly until I read your emails and changed ( while holding my breath) to the Detroit side. You saved me lots of $$$$$. I don’t often write to companies or people with praise however you are without question the exception.I have never, I said NEVER cashed so many winning tickets for football and I have been an active ” sports outcome investor” for well over 30 years.

I just wanted to say thanks

As a new and highly impressed customer of Doug’s, I can say that his service is amazing. His research is like nothing I’ve seen before in this industry. I had questions on his research called his help line, he talked me through it and even gave me he thoughts on the World Series. Upstone is a class act.
